Forbes Quant Trader

Forbes’ newest and ONLY trading service based on a proven algorithm and has beaten the S&P 500 by 303% since 2003.

When it comes to investing, research has shown that we are our own worst enemy. We buy to follow the crowd and we sell when we shouldn’t. Even the best investors can let emotions derail their strategy. A well-developed algorithm eliminates that problem. The Forbes Quant Trader (FQT) is a systematic, evidence-based investment system that blends quantitative investing techniques with fundamental stock analysis to provide three to four high-conviction investment recommendations a month. With an average holding period between one to six months, investors have access to an algorithm-based, unbiased investing service whose alerts and performance have been tested for nearly 15 years. The system is appropriate for those investors seeking alpha generation and an investment edge by uncovering stock ideas using a systematic program that have proven themselves over time.
